    One of my clients at work has this IT guy with a furry profile picture on Zoom.

    I assumed it was a mistake, people join with dumb pictures/names sometimes, but no. He never changed it in any of our meetings.

    And then I looked at his account in our software, which allows users to upload their own photo, and he put a different furry picture there. A strictly work related account, that only his coworkers and us can see.

    And you know what, I respect it.

      Reminds me of this:

      Not sure if this is real, but you know you’ve won at life when you can submit something looking like this and still get hired.

      I work as a Linux sysadmin and I have quite a few plushies strewn about my office; and for my profile pic I have Ikea Japan’s Blahaj in a business suit. Have yet to here any grief about it!

      I have a coworker with a furry pic for his work profile! He recently updated it to a different art of the same character. This guy is totally commissioning art of his fursona and using it for his work profiles. Im honestly kind of impressed by his dedication. Hes some kind of rodent like maybe a possum?

      I like when I start a job and someone has a furry avatar. I know who to go when something weird comes up I can’t figure out. It’s worked out for me so far.
